Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and associated methods are described that provide signal transmission over copper media. An example module includes a number of electrical signal generators that each generate an electrical signal, and a signal modulation system that receives the electrical signals generated by the electrical signal generators. The signal modulation system further modulates each of the electrical signals such that each modulated electrical signal is distinguishable from the other modulated electrical signals. The module further includes an active copper multiplexer in electrical communication with the electrical signal generators that receives the modulated electrical signals from the signal modulation system. The active copper multiplexer further combines the multiple modulated signals into a single combined electrical signal and transmits the single combined electrical signal through a single copper cable.
